بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 894/931/N=9/1438)

Muhammad is the name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Salif means past, previous. However, I could find nowhere in any book that any sahabi was named after the name Salif or Muhammad Salif.

Allah knows Best!
